Projective embeddings of holomorphic symplectic manifolds

Abstract:Holomorphic symplectic manifolds are higher-dimensional analogues of K3
surfaces. In the 1990's Huybrechts established when these are projective
varieties, but a precise description of possible embeddings emerged only in
the last couple years. We will survey recent developments including new
theorems drawing on results on stability conditions for derived categories.
